I've heard of them, but only because a friend of mine ordered a pretty complex cage for his mk2 race car and it was very ill fitting, so lots of cutting about and refabrication was involved to get it to fit. From what I remember they didn't want to know when they were told about this either.

People still have stock of SD ones - I was infact looking at some proper SD bolt in stainless 38mm ones yesterday. Good cross between bling and safety / performance
